This was an action to recover balance of an account for cornchandlery goods supplied. Mr. Thos. Angell appeared for plaintiff, and Mr. Rusken representing defendant. It appeared that a person named Gibbons lived at a house at Clapham, and defendant went to stop there. Gibbons be came involved, and made an assignment, and it was en deavoured to he shown that Fairlie had been a partner, but Mr. Fairlie himself said he was only a lodger. Mr. Angell called for a cheque which had been signed by defendant, and made payable to plaintiff,aud defendant admitted that he had a monthly account with Mr. Gibbons. That was to say that when bills came in they were cast up, and defendant paid half. His Honour said that upon this defendant was liable. It he had agreed for a certain sum every month, it would have been a different thing, but ho was interested to the extent of ono half, and this made him liable for the whole. Verdict for plaintiff.

Bail was tendered and accepted. BAD FISH AT BILLINGSGATE AGAIN. In a case which occurred here tc-day, a long dispute arose about bad fiih, and his honour remarked that he had been trying for a long time past to get the name of the men who sent up the bad fish. The salesmen would not give up those names, and the public cccaeionally suffered through the easy consciences of some of the retailers. It was sworn that the fish was bad, and whenever this was proved the Court would give the plaintiffs verdicts. In the present instance, there was conclusive evidence as to the fish being bad, and the plaintiff would have a verdict for the full amount with costs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE,--This day. BOW-STREET. William Evans was again placed before Mr Vaughan, charged with obtaining a coat and trousers from Mr Mer rifield, tailor, Strand, by false representations. _ _ It will be recollected that the prisoner led Mr Merrifield to believe that he hold a Government appointment in the Transport Department of the Admiralty, and in order to give additional strength to his representations he touk Mr ➢ierrifield's shopman to Somerset House, where he went into an office which ho represented as his t and there he signed an I 0 IT for the amount in his brother's name, he being the person holding the appointment, and not the prisoner. Upon Mr Merrifield applying for payment the brother denied all knowledge of the I 0 U, and the prisoner was given into custody. There were various other charges against the prisoner on the first occasion of his being brought up, but they were all withdrawn, and the prisoner was remanded for the attendance of his brother. On the second occasion that the prisoner was placed at the bar an applica tion was made to Mr Vaughan to discharge the prisoner, as Mr Merrifield did not wish to press the charge ; but in consequence of the brother not being in attendance ?1r Vaughan refused to accede to such a proposition, and again remanded the prisoner. This morning ho was again placed at the bar, when Mr Wontner (who appeared for the prisoner) reminded the magistrate of the application of Mr MerrifiAd to with draw the charge against the prisoner. Mr Vaughan—ls the brother here ? Police-constable F 100—No, your worship. Mr Vaughan—Why is he not here ? Police-constable—l do not know, your worship. I have been to his lodgings. Mr Vaughan—ls Mr Merrifield in court ? [Mr Merrifield having entered the witness box, tho magistrate continued] —You have expressed a wish that the present proceedings should not go on. Upon what grounds do you make the application ? Mr Merrifield—The young man has been three weeks in prison, your worship, and 1 think ho has been suffi ciently punished. Mr Vaughan—Have you been paid, or havo you received any promise of payment ? Mr Merrifield—No, sir. . . Mr Vaughan—Then there has been no sort of compro mise in the matter. Is there any parson in court who can speak to the prisoner's previous character ? Mr George Evans said—l am the prisoner's uncle, and have known him from childhood, and J have had ample Gpportunity of observing the actions of the prisoner. Up to the present charge his character has been irreproachable, and when that became known it created the utmost astonish ment amongst them. Mr Vaughan—To what do you attribute his present position Mr Evans —To bad associates and bad comr any. If his brother had come forward I believe there would appear to be extenuating circumstances-- Mr Wontner— Don't go into that now. •• _ Mr Vaughan—lt was stated on the last examination that f the prisoner was discharged his friends would undertake hat he should bo sent abroad. Mr Evans—That promise will bo performed. The rela tives of the prisoner have made a subscription in his behalf, and their great desire was that the prisoner should be sent abroad in order that he might get rid of his bad companions. Mr Vaughan— Prisoner, I have very grave doubts with respect to your case, but after careful consideration I nave came to the conclusion that, consistently with my duty, I may discharge you instead of committing you for trial. I place much weight on the recommendation o f the prosecutor, but your case not being a felony, al though very close upon it, the magistrate has a larger discretion ; and considering that you have already been three weeks in prison, and that your friends will send you away from this country, I shall order you to be discharged. I do hope that for the future you will en deavour, by your good conduct, to atone in some degree for the disgrace you have brought upon your family. You are now discharged. _ _ Prisoner—Bcf )re I leave the court I wish to say that I never intended to defraud Mr Merrifield. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. AN AFFRAY WITH THE POLICE.--•1SIr Henry Lucon, said to be an officer in the army, and giving the address Tavistock Hotel, Covent-garden; Mr William Aubert Steinmitz, of Upper Clayton, gentleman; and Wm. Henry Neville Woodhouse, of No. 4, Lansdowne-terrace, Notting hill, gentleman, were charged before Mr Tyrwhitt with behaving in a disorderly manner, and causing a crowd to assemble in the Haymarket. Police-constable Samuel Yeo, 310 H, Jaid—About 1 o'clock this morning I was in the Haymarket, when I saw a crowd of about 140 persons outside a cafe, and the three defendants, arm in arm, pushing and knocking against every body they came near, and at the same time shouting out. On persuading the defendants to be quiet and to behave themselves, Lucon said he was a major and a justice of the peace, and knew the law better than all the police ; Steinmitz also said he was an officer, and did not care for anybody; and Woodhouse said ho was a gentlemen, and would do as he liked. By this time nearly 300 persons had collected. The defendants then moved to the top of tho Haymarket, and were then joined by about a dozen soldiers —Horse Guards and Life Guards. They then went into Tichborne-street, and Steinmitz called out " Now, soldiers, do what you can and I'll protect you." I then took Steinmil a into custody, and the other defendants were taken by other constables, Steinmitz again called out —" Now, soldiers, to the rescue 1" and the soldiers got hold of me. I got a blow on the head and several kicks, but I think that was from the soldiers. We then got them into Regent street, and it took three or four of us to get Steinmitz in. Mr Tyrwhitt—How many soldiers were there? Constable—About 10 or 12. Steinmitz—l did not say "soldiers to the rescue." I was pushed about in the Haymarket more than I pushed about. I did when I was attacked try to rescue myself. Lucon—Why did 316 A push me on as I was lighting my cigar outside of quin's oyster shop. Thos. Pratt, 311 A—l saw a great crowd outside the cafe, and heard 516 A persuading the defendants to go away The defendants pushed against eeveral persons. I told them, after they said they were gentlemen, th©y ought to set an example. The defendants then got to the top of the Haymarket, and there was a large collection of cabmen, prostitutes, and roughs. On 316 A taking the defendants into custody I followed to keep the crowd back; when we got into Quadrant I saw several of the Blues and Lifo Guards, and Steiumitz called out, "Now, soldiers, rescue, and I'll see you righted." Some of the soldiers then caught hold of 316 A, and on telling the soldiers not to interfere they struck me. I took one of the soldiers to the station, but do not know whether he is going to bo brought up. Sergeant Godfrey, 18 C, said—There were about 300 persons collected, and on going over to quell the disturb ance, it became much worse. My hat was knocked off, and I had a bluw on my head. Two soldiers were taken into custody. I did not hear the soldiers called upon by the de fendants, as I was not near enough. I don't know whether the soldiers are going to be brought up. It was here stated to the magistrate that the soldiers would have to go before the military authorities. Mr Tyrwhitt—The soldiers ought to have been detained I do not Bee why they should be let go because they are sol diers. It is a most dangerous practice to let the Horse Guards override the civil authorities. Tho defdndant Lucon—l was lighting my cigar after coming out of Quin's oyster shop. 316 A said " Move on," and immediately after I received, not a blow, but a poke on the back of my neck. 316 A again said "Move on." I refused to move, and he then pushed his knee against me. I then said I would take his number and bring him up, as he was exceeding his duty. Through the push my lips and hand were burnt with the fusee I was using. I then walked a little way, finding my friends in custody. and I was taken becluse I went with the others. lam an officer and a co lonial magistrate, and therefore know I must not resist the police. I thought when I got before the inspector I should be allowed to have my say, but was not. Stcinkif z—l am not an officer, and don't suppose I ever shall be, but was called last night " captain," but why, I cannot say. [lt may be stated that in the Haymarket "titles of courtesy " are very commonly made use of.] Woodhouse—l consider there is no harm in taking a walk in the Haymarket. Mr Tyrwhitt—l have no doubt you wero diaoiderly made a great noise—and displayed great folly; as I have also no doubt that some of you were indiscreet enough to THAMES. FALSE SYMPATHY.—EIIen Willingale, a most impudent woman, of very bad character, was brought before Mr Par, tridge, charged with stealing a child's dress, a shell chim. ney ornament, a sheet, a calico shirt, and various other articles, the property of Henry English, a shoemaker, of No. 6, St. Andrew's-terrace, Limehouse. Tho prosecutor, who appeared to be labouring under great despondency, is the father of the girl Emma English, who preferred a charge of rape against Mr Goodfellow, a surgeon, last week, and which was dismissed by Mr Self°. Mr Engli• h was himelf charged with violently assaulting Mr Good:C.l,lw, while labouring under the belief that his daughter, aged 14, had been dishonoured by hm. Mr English was held to bail in his owu recognisanees to k:ep the peace. Sinco the investigation Mr English has been pestered with strangers culling upon him, and pre [ending to a) mpathise with him. Of this class was the prisoner, who was quite unknown to Mr Eng lish until last night, when she called upon him in company with a young man, who had some business to transact with him, The prisoner was very tipsy, and Mr English, who was surprised at the intrusion of a stranger into his home, attempted to get zid of her, but was unable to do so. She insisted on sending for some ale, condoled with him on his recent troubles, and said how hard it was his daughter should have been ruined, and the father left without redress. As the prisoner was leaving the house, after a long visit, and Mr English was about to shut the street door, the pri- boner dropped a child's dress from her person. Mr English picked it up and found it be his own property. Mr English went after her and brought her back, and took from under her arm a sheet belonging to him. She then took a varlet) of other things from her person and threw them on the floor. She was given into custody and taken to the station-house. While seated there she took a spoon from her pocket and placed it alongside of her. She was then searched by a constable's wife, and another spoon and a shoeing horn were taken from her. The spoons and the horn were the property of Mr English. lie was very reluctant to prosecute, and said he would rather give her the articles and five shillings, too, than see her punished. Mr Townsend, a gatekeeper in the East India Dock, confirmed the evidence a Mr English in every particular. The prisoner, who was said to be the wife of an omnibus conductor, declared, in the most impudent manner, that all that was said against her was false. She dropped nothing, and nothing was taken from her. Mr Patridge—And nothing was taken from you at the station-house ? Prisoner—Nothing whatever. All false from beginning to end, (Laughter.) A young man named Atkins, a butcher, of No. 88, Sidney-street, Stepney, was called by the prisoner, who said he could pi ova she had nothing at all upon her. He would not, however, commit perjury to save her. He said she accompanied him to the house of Mr English, and she had some drink. If she had taken anything he thought it was a lark. . _ Mr Partridge—A strange lark, indeed. She goes to the house of Mr English under pretence of commiserating with him, and takes away thoac things. I fine her 40s for the unlawful possession of the property, and in default one month's imprisonment. The penalty was paid. WESTMINSTER. CONVICTION OF AN OFFICER IN THE ARMY.—Mr. John Charles Sweeney, of 13, St, George's-street, captain in the 91st Highlanders, -was charged with unlawfully breaking a square of glass, value £lO, and assaulting the policeman. The charge of wilful damage was not proceeded with, Miss Hughes, the complainant, being absent. Police-sergeant 26 13, said that at 11 o'clock last7night he was called to 16, Cumberland-street, Pimlico, where the defendant was given into custody for wilfully breaking a square of plate-glass. When witness entered defendant was coming down stairs with a stick in his hand, and in allusion to the glass said, " Bobby, come and see me finish it, and in returning upstairs he broke some more of the glass from the wardrobe. The lady, having given him in charge, witness laid hold of him by the arm, upon which he said he should like to have e. slap at the " bobby," and struck him on the hat, on the breast, and on the mouth, In cross-examination by Mr Edward Lewis, solicitor for defendant, witness said that defendant said he should like to " bonnet" witness. He was not drunk, The blows he struck were not violent. Police constable 0 B said that as he entered the house with the servant, they met the defendant coming down stairs. He had part of his clothes ( ff, and after putting them on, he said, "I should like t 3 have a go at you." "Bobbies," he added, "I'll pay for a new hat, and give you IF. if you let me bonnet you." lie then sttuck the sergeant on the top of the hat. In the seta 3to secure him he struck witness under the ear with his Mr Lewis said that his client had, while in a state o! intoxication, been inveigled into this house, where a dif ference arose. The fact of defendant being partially un dressed would show the character of the house. Mr Arnold inquired what it war. The sergeant sai he believed it was very respectable. Mr Lewis said it could be shown it was not—it woe a lodging-house for ladies. Defendant said Col. Cumberland hired it for its present occupant. Mr Lewis said that defendant very deeply regretted what had occurred. He had been wounded while in service in India, and having had sun stroke there, became much ex cited under the influence of liquor, as in the present case. The assaults seemed to have been jocular, by the language used, and not of a vicious character. Mr Arnold thought there was not evidence of a savage character in the assaults, but pointed out that the police were not to be assaulted as a source of amusement to gen- tlemen who got drunk. Although the lower order of per sons might be guilty of misconduct while in a state of in toxication, better conduct was expected of those in the posi tion of gentlemen, and be (Mr Arnold) cLubted whether he ought not to commit without a fine. He fined defendant £lO (i 5 for each assault) or two months, which was immediately paid. MAREETB—This Day. MARK-LANE. But moderate supplies of home-grown wheat were re ceived fresh up to our market to-day coastwise and by rail. The trade, however, was in a sluggish state for all qualities nevertheless, the bulk of the supply of good and fine pro duce on offer was disposed of at Monday's currency. The transactions in inf3rior Engliah wheats were at about pre • vic,us rates. There was a good supply of foreign wheat on the stands. In all descriptions sales progressed slowly, yet no change took place in prices compared with Monday. Indeed both continental and American parcels were held at fully that day's currency. There was a moderate supply of barley on offer. Good and fine malting qualities mt.ved off steadily, at full prices ; otherwise the barley trade was dull, at quite the recent fall in the quotations. Malt was in slow request, at about previous rates. The supply of oats on the stands was tolerably large. Most descriptions wore in good demand, at full currencies. Beans met a slow sale, at the late decline in prices. Peas, however, ruled firm. The flour trade was quiet, at late prices. ARRIVALS THIS NvItBK. Wheat. Barley, Malt. Oats. Flour.

This noise las ed 10 seconds ; the direction of the bolis was from north to south ; but the phenomenon could not be observed in all its splen dour because the sun was very brilliant, and unveiled by the slightest cloud. CITY SEWERS COMMISSION. Yesterday a meeting was held at the Guildhall of the City Commissio nerd et Sewers, Deputy De Jersey in the chair. THE GAS QUESTION. The following report from the special committee upon gas was read and adopted : " We, whose names are hereunto set, your special com mittee on gas, to whom it was on the 14th of June last re ferred to consider a motion of that date—' That the citizens of London have for a long time been suffering from an in sufficient supply of gas, and that supply being under the superintendence committee, they be appointed for the pur pose of ascertaining the cause of such insufficiency, with power to make such investigation aid take such steps as may appear desirable, with a view to its improvement, both in quality and quantity, and to insure to the consumer more pow•or and permanent light ;' and having had our attention iced.° I to the various complaints which have been made from time to time tt insuffioiency of light from the public lamps whero the carburetter is fixed in the lantern, end to the shadow cast by such c irburetters round the base of such lamps, after consulting µi:h the chem'cal examiner and gas engineer thereupon, we have decided to recommend to your hon. Court that on the termination of the present contract with the Co operating Company on Ist Feb. next, the use of the carburetter, so far as regards those lamps where it is I laced in the lant-rn, bo discontinued. " With regard to the very difficult question as to the ex cessive amount of sulphur found in the gas supplied to the City,we are advised by the chymical examiner of gas, that, in the event of your hon, Court desiring to take any pro ceedings to put in force the provisions of the act of Parlia ment in reference thereto, it is expedient that you should have the best opinion you can get on the subject, and he recommends that Mr Hawksley, the gas engineer, be re tained for such purpose and to advise as to the best mode of reducing the amount of sulphur in gas, so that such opinion be had at a cost not to exceed 20 guineas, and we recommend that he be retained for that purpose accordingly, and that it be referred back to us to obtain the same." Dr LETHEBY reported that the average illuminating power of the gas supplied to the City during the week had been above the requirement of the Act of Parliament, but that on six occasions out of 17 in the case of the Chartered Gas Company it had been below the standard, and that once in seven in the case of the Great Central Company it had also been below. The average power of the City Company's gas had been equal to 13•i7 cantles, whereas that of the Chartered and Great Central had not been 121 candles. The amount of sulphur in the City and Chartered had ave raged 19.3 grains, but that of the Great Central had been 21 . 1 grains, and on every occasion the latter gas had con tained more sulphur than was sanctioned by the act. Mr Crikrmer gave notice that when next the gas ques • tion came before the Court ho would submit the following motion :—" That it be referred to the Special Gas Commit tee to confer with the gas companies in the City of London with the view of obtaining a reduction of the price of gas to that which was charged by the various companies from and after the passing of the sot of the Great Central Gas Com pany to the passing of the ➢Zetropolis Gas Act, and in the event of the committee failing to obtain such reduction to consider and report as to the advisability of applying to Parliament for powers to obtain the same, and to secure to the citizens the advantages they formerly possessed in re spect of the gas supply, and such other powers as may be otherwise beneficial." THE MEDICAL OFFICER'S REPORT. The following report was read from the medical officer of health :—" The inspectors' return which are before you re late.to 265 houses that have been inspected during the week, and I submit a list of 62 places for sanitary improve ment. The markets and slaughter- houses have been duly inspected, and the officers have condemned 2,3601 b of meat as most unfit for human food ; 9701 b were diseased, b7dlb were putrid, and 8141 b were from animals that had died from disease. It consisted of 9 sheep, 5 pigs, 10 quarters of beef, 20 joints of meat, and 42 head of game and poultry. " The mortality returns for the week are a little above the average for the corresponding week of the last 9 years. Last week the number of deaths was 59, whereas the average number is 51; 28, or nearly half of the deaths, were among children of less than five years of age, and 8 were among persons of CO and upwards. The chief causes of death are as follows :—Phthi. is, s—mesenteric disease, 10—pntumonia, 3—bronchitis, 2—whooping-cough, I—diphtheria, 3—scar let fever, 4 —measles, I —and 3 from infantile diarrhcei." Her Majesty's Ship Bulldog. The Secretary of the Admiralty presents his com pliments to the Editor of 2he Sun, and requests insertion of the following paragraph :-- "With reference to the reported loss of her Majesty's ship Bulldog, letters have been received from Vice .Admiral Sir James Hope, dated at Halifax, the 20th of September, in which ho states that her Majesty's ship Galatea arrived then on the 27tb, having left Bermuda on the 24th, and reported that the Bulldog had sailed from Bermuda for Jamaica on the 14th of September. There appears to be no truth in the report of the Bulldog having been lost be tween Bermuda and Halifax." Admiralty, Oct. 11, 1864. SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO A GENTLEMAN AT NEW MA.RKET,—On Monday afternoon, as Mr Francis Beard, of Mortlake, was riding a highly-spirited horse on the road, within a mile of Newmarket Race Course, in passing a farmer's spring cart, a gig born down upon him with great velocity, so closely as to cause the step of the vehicle to cut his right leg through his trousers and boot, and pierce the right flank of the horse, which made him rear and fall back upon the unfortunate gentleman. He was taken up in a state of insensibility, but although suffering from a fractured arm and other serious injuries, fatal consequences were not apprehended. The animal, a very valuable one, will be rendered useless. MURDEROUS ASSAULT ON A POLICE CONSTABLE. —At the City Police Court, yesterday, two brothers, named Charles and Thomas Stansfield, were called upon to answer charges preferred against them by Police Con stable William Wilkinson, of the C division. The police man, who appeared with his head bandaged, said that at half-past eleven o'clock on Monday night he heard screams in Ashton Old-road Ardwick, and upon going to the spot saw Charles Stansfield ill-using his wife, who wanted to give him into custody. Witness told them they must settle the dispute between themselves. With some difficulty he got them to leave the street, and went on. He had not proceeded far when Charles Stansfield returned and beat his wife as before. He separated them, and as Charles S,antfield refused to go away, wit ness took him into custody. He was rescued by his brother Thomas, and making his escape went into the shop of his father, who is a butcher. Witness took Thos. Stansfield into custody, to take him to the police stction for rescuing the other prisoner. Charles then came out armed with: a butcher's cleaver, with which he struck witness deliberately four times, on the head, arm, and shoulder. The cleaver was produced ; it had a large heavy steel blade, and was a most f muidable weapon. The certificate of Mr T. N. Deane, the police surgeon, stated that the policeman Was suffering from a severe incised wound over the left temple, dividing the artery and indent ing the bone, and being two and a half inches in length. The prisoners were committed for triat at the assizes. HEAVY PENALTIES AGAINST A PAWNBROKER, —At Dudley, on Monday, Mr Thtmas Kendrick, pawnbroker, was char g ed with having is sued 50 pawn tickets which did not contain upon them the information required by the Pawnbrokers' Act, as to the position of the person pawning, or the number of the entry in the pawn-book, Some weeks ago, Mr Kendrick pleaded guilty to seven charges of a like nature, made against him by Mr Wootton, auctioneer, of West Bromwich, and was fined £5 and costs in each case. S'absequently, twelve informations were laid against him by Mr Rowley, auctioneer, or and stourbridge; but that gen tleman, when the cases were called on, intimated that he would decline to give evidence, as the defendant had made a very fair and proper arrangement with him. The over seers of the parish, therefore, took the natter up on public grounds, and obtained leave to issue fifty summonses against Mr Kendrick. After hearing evidence, the Bench inflicted a fine of £5 and costs in each of twenty-three cases (the whole amount of the fines to go to the overseers of the parish), or in default three months' hard labour. MEADOWS IN MOUNTAINOUS DISTRICTS." Among the moans devised for averting the scourge of inundations, the replanting of woods on the naked declivities of mountains held a prominent place. The Administration of Woods and Forests in France took up the matter seriously, and, under the able direction of M. Vicaire, the work cf replanting the mountainous districts of the south-east, south-west, end centre has for the last few years been rapid l y progressing. But this would still be insufficient to arrest the evil without the aid of grass, which, covering the steep slopes with a compact and tena cious turf, prevents the earth from being washed away by heavy rains. Moreover, owing to the great resistance offered by grass to the downward progress of water, a great deal of it has time to be absorted by the soil, and, when this is practised on a large scale, it has a material effect in diminishing the volume of water and rendering therefore the ovei &wing of rivers less frequent—not to mention the advantage resulting from the retention of all the fertil ising principles of the muddy water which runs over the grass. The meadows thus formed afford nourish ment to an immense number of cattle, whereby good manure is obtained for the adjacent fields. This theory is the remit of much attention paid to ssing a farm the subjecat t by M. Bargne, a landed ppretor posse the very sources of the torrents which deecend from the mountains of the Le zere, and who has himself carried out the plan Le recommends to others. His farm has lately been visited by M. Herve-l'ilangon at the rcquest of the Societe d'Encouragement, and been highly approved of by that eminent rural engineer. In order to form the sloping meadows in question, M. Bargne first smooths out all the irregularities of the declivities, and, before sowing, cuts a number of trenches across, very slightly inclined, so as to retain the water as long as possible. He next bars the ravines with piles of stones, whereby the water, instead of running down, necessarily flows into the trenches. This prevents it from scooping out the earth as before, grass begins to grew, and the water then filters slowly through it, and thus a barren soil becomes fertile in a very short time.

The body, with the throat cut in a most dreadful manner and with several marks of blows on the head, was found lying in a pool of blood in the cellar. Two men, father and son, who liva in the neighbourhood, have been arrested and imprisoned on suspicion. Oae of them had a short time since purchased, fur a life annuity, a property belonging to the murdered man. The Correctional Tribunal of Valenciennes has just tried twenty-nine pitmen employed in coal+ mines near that town on a charge of coalition for obtaining an advance of wages, and of having used violence to compel other men to join them in a strike. According to the evidence given, it appears that some of the men imbued with communistic principles p3rsuaded their companions to enter into a coalition for the pur pose of obtaining a uniform pay of 3fr a day for all the pit men, without regard to their capabilities. In e stead of making known their demands to the managers, the accused went to the pit's mouth on the nights of the 20th and 21st ult., and compelled all the ram to cease working, at the same time extinguishing the files of the engines used for drawing up the coals. Order we.; however restored on the 22d by the armed force, and the offending parties were arrested. The charges having been fully established, the Tribunal coudemed seven of the accused to be imprisoned for six weeks, 15 for A month, Eve for a fortnight, two fur a week, and all CM • jeindy to pay the cc sts. i Closing Business Share' Railways.
